  • Demi Lovato: Why I Almost Quit Entertainment Business After Rehab

    Demi Lovato (Macca/Todd G/Splash News)Demi Lovato (Macca/Todd G/Splash News)Demi Lovato (S Fernandez/Splash News)Demi Lovato (S Fernandez/Splash News)When Demi Lovato left rehab last January after completing 90 days for a variety of issues, including an eating disorder, depression, and cutting, the former Disney superstar debated returning to the spotlight. After all, it was the pressures of fame -- and the scrutiny that came along with it -- that landed her in the position she was in. "I thought, 'I'm exhausted, people don't understand and so many people are being negative towards me,'" the 19-year-old says in a new interview with UK's Metro. "It's hard. There are so many pressures that are put on you when you're in the industry. But I love doing it, I love singing. I don't want to give that up just because the going gets tough."

  • Tyra Banks: My Favorite Part About Harvard Was the Cafeteria

    Banks shows off her Harvard certificate. (Twitter)Supermodel-turned-businesswoman Tyra Banks enrolled in Harvard Business School's Owner/President Management Program last year to learn how to build her multi-million-dollar brand — and she fully immersed herself in college life. Not only did the "America's Next Top Model" host make friends, join study groups, and wear Harvard hoodies, she also indulged in college cuisine at the campus cafeteria. "The food is insane," she tells omg!. "It's so good. We always have like an amazing Indian dish. There was a comfort food station, salad bar, two soups to choose from, two smoothies to choose from, olive bar." But in all seriousness, Banks — who just graduated on February 17 — also gained skills and knowledge that are already helping her improve her business, Bankable Productions. "Finance is definitely not a strength, but after graduating I wouldn't say I'm a pro at it, but I can definitely handle the finance part of my business much better than before," she adds.

  • Jennifer Aniston Explains How She Named New Puppy

    Jennifer Aniston talks about her new puppy on Jennifer Aniston talks about her new puppy on

    For animal-lover Jennifer Aniston, it was a heartbreaking moment when she had to pick just one puppy from an abandoned litter of 10 at a Los Angeles-area shelter recently. After more than three hours of playing with the little furry ones with boyfriend Justin Theroux, "I was almost walking out with three puppies," the actress told Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" while promoting her new comedy, "Wanderlust" on Friday. "That's why we named her Sophie, because it was [like the Meryl Streep movie] 'Sophie's Choice.' I was crying -- it was so hard." But Aniston and Theroux knew they had picked the right pup -- or rather, she picked them. "Sophie came right up to us," she added. "That was sort of a big indicator -- they choose you."

  • Rachel Bilson: ‘I Just Really Love Being in My Pajamas’

    Bilson is in bloom. (Ruven Afanador/Lucky)Not a day goes by that actress Rachel Bilson doesn't step out in the cutest, most perfectly put-together outfit — even if it's just a run to the grocery store. But there's a secret she's been keeping from her fashionista fans: When she's at home, "I just really love being in my pajamas," the "Hart of Dixie" star tells Lucky in its April cover story. "My mother just got me a pair of Miss Piggy pajamas, and I love them." Sure, we will probably never catch Bilson even walking her dog in those PJs, but the actress does admit she goes for comfort over style when she selects what to wear. "I like to be comfortable, and don't like to be cold, and I don't like to wear anything I'm not in the mood for."

  • Alyson Hannigan: My Kids Won’t Be Child Actors

    Hannigan is pregnant with baby #2. (Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images)Alyson Hannigan's children will not be following in their famous mother's footsteps any time soon. The "How I Met Your Mother" star was just 4 when she made her acting debut in a 1978 Duncan Hines cookie mix commercial -- but she says she won't allow her kids to do the same if they're enticed by the bright lights of Hollywood at a young age. "I definitely would want them to wait," the actress, who is due to give birth to her second child in the spring, tells omg!. "Saty [daughter Satyana, almost 3] is sort of the prime candidate for acting … so hilarious and so expressive." And she can even cry on cue! "Early on, I think she was just over a year and just starting to talk," explains Hannigan, "she was in my closet and she was looking at herself in the mirror. She was really close up and studying [herself], and then she started to tear up. I was like, 'Honey, what's wrong?' And she says, 'Look, Mommy, I'm crying!' I was like, 'Oh no, we're doomed,' but she was so pleased with herself that she could make herself cry. So she's certainly showing signs, but we're going to keep her being a kid for as long as possible."

  • Kathy Ireland: Richest Supermodel in the World

    Ireland's company earned $2 billion last year. (Araya Diaz/WireImage)The richest supermodel in the world is not Gisele Bundchen or Heidi Klum or Kate Moss -- or anyone who has walked a runway in at least the past decade. It's 48-year-old Kathy Ireland. Forbes reports that the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl's company, Kathy Ireland Worldwide -- which manufactures 15,000 items ranging from clothes to home furnishings to fitness videos -- raked in a jaw-dropping $2 billion dollars last year. Ireland's cut? A cool $350 million. In comparison, just behind Kathy Ireland Worldwide is domestic diva Martha Stewart, whose company earned $900 million last year -- that's over a billion less than the supermodel-entrepreneur's company!

  • Paris Hilton Releases New Spoken-Word Techno Song

    Hilton is back with new music. Denise Truscello/WireImageAfter Paris Hilton's debut album, Paris, in 2006, the world wasn't really begging for any more music from the heiress. But six years later, here she is gracing our ears yet again with a new ditty, "Drunk Text," in which Hilton gives us a spoken-word account of a boozy night out on the town in which she drinks too much and sends an inappropriate message to a guy -- all set to techno music. "I went out to the club the other night to, you know, dance with my b-----s," the reality star begins in her trademark baby voice.

    Hilton, 31, then gives listeners a lesson on why not to mix alcohol and technology after she takes a photo up a dancer's skirt, sends it to some guy named Adam, and then moments later the dancer confronts the famous blonde after someone forwards her the message. "I say, 'Sorry, it was just a drunk text,'" Hilton explains on the track, which also has an accompanying music video featuring close-ups of her mouth. "I should have known we knew each other. No one is safe in the

"The odds are so against me, one mom and eight kids … so it would be great. I mean, I'm so lonely. I clean up the house, put the kids to bed and there I sit. Ideally I would find that person."
